We were lucky to catch up with Jermaine Whitaker recently and have shared our conversation below.

Jermaine, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.

I consider myself a real student of the podcast world. To me this goes deeper than the subject matter in podcasts, for me its about having meaningful conversations and making sure that everyone’s voice can get heard. In the beginning, I wish I would’ve brought in the visual aspect in sooner. I only did audio podcasts on purpose to make the podcast different, but there’s so much more that can be gained from the visuals that just hearing it wouldn’t do the conversations any justice. The most essential skill that I look for is searching for strong topics, I make it my mission to give my audience something that will entertain them and educate them at the same time. And lastly the obstacles I see is becoming stagnant or repetitive. I try to bring something new into every episode.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?

Fans of the podcast know that I’m self titled as the Limewire Legend, but my birth name is Jermaine. I’m from the East Side of Saint Paul, Minnesota. I enjoy long walks by the beach and giving advice to strangers about relationships. I got into podcasts by really listening to them in my free time. That appreciation became curiosity on how I could make my own and I went out and did it with the help of my team. We tackle issues of relationships and music on the show because those two ideas are typically subjective, you don’t have to be an expert, you just need to have an opinion. So those two concepts are the main source of conversation. I am most proud of the progress we’ve made with the podcast, to me each one gets better from the last one. I have a hard time picking a favorite episode. My biggest goal as of now is to expand to a wider audience, we do a lot of great work. I just want as many people to consume our product as possible.

Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

I wish I would’ve found other local podcasts sooner.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

I just want to continue making great content that the people want.
